Not that the original Cabin Fever was Psycho or anything, but it deserves better than this. Aside from a few ha-ha gross-out sight gags, there is nothing, and I mean NOTHING salvageable from this film.
Even though it's a victim of over-editing, it's still quite a fun, gross for the sake it, B-movie. The penis scene even managed to make me cringe which very few movies can do.
Trash-bin cinema at its worst (best?). It has little to do with the first one, and clearly is aimed towards teenagers who love Bride of Cannibal 3 (even if that movie doesn't exist). It is not scary one bit, just gross. Lensing is really weird, that's probably stylistic decision to make this film look really cheap and old.
Ti West is gifted..you can tell this was not his vision towards the end..the last ten mins of this movie was the worst in movie history...i liked some of it..not enough though
Such a different vibe to the first film as it seems Comedy replaces Horror, but still it manages to be fairly effective in being a reasonably good sequel. Nice to see Deputy Winston back but the new characters aren't as likeable as the first crop of kids were. Good storyline that got very amusing the time the prom came around. The best part was probably the cartoon beginning and ending. Overall not as good as the first but not a complete waste of time to watch as it had some shining moments.
What the hell? I liked it. They managed to take the worst character from the first shitty movie, and turn him into a likeable character in an oddly watchable DTV sequel.
Every second Giuseppe Andrews and Mark Borchardt aren't on the screen the movie suffers. For some reason they are both superbly entertaining in an otherwise terrible gore-fest. I can't recommend this, even if you liked the first (which I did). Admittedly it's not all bad, there is some decent black comedy and some cinematography and tone that seems oddly inspired by Wes Anderson films. Even so, overall, it's a general waste of time.
In the beginning there was a sense that this would do what sequels should do and expand on the original in a very imaginative way. However, probably because of the problems with the production of the film, it does suffer from a wafer-thin structure compared to the original.
Some of the influences seem to be not just other members of the horror genre, and some scenes are genuinely effective or amusing, while others are distasteful in a less interesting way.
West reportedly wants nothing to do with the sequel that bears his name. Certainly the film displays little of the patient panache that marks his recent effort House of the Devil. There%u2019s a nicely realized shot here and there, but most of the film is a jackhammer race through inane gross-out moments and painful cliches. It can be described with a single word that could never be applied to Devil or, for that matter, Eli Roth%u2019s original bloodbath in the woods. That word is forgettable.
for the most part, i enjoyed this movie. but, it did feel rushed. at an anemic runtime of 80 minutes, this included a tacked on part at the end that was painful to watch. but, really, what else could i ask for in a dtv sequel? it was funny, violent, and entertaining -- definitely worth a watch.
